• D. Promise little, but do much.

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

To get out of bed on the wrong side

Option C is the best proverb that suits the given context because 'to get out of bed on the wrong side' means to be grumpy or unpleasant from the beginning for no obvious reason.

'Better late than never' means that it is better for someone or something to be late than never to arrive or to happen.

'East or West, home is best' means that home is the best place to be no matter where it is.

'Promise little, but do much' means that even if you give your word to do something, do more than what is expected of you.

'Make hay while the sun shines' means that should take advantage of the chance to do something while conditions are good.

Options A, B, D and E are incorrect because none of these proverbs suits the given context.
